Horsepower gains question!!!!!!

I have a 99 HT with the Vortex intake and Borla "cat-back" system. I'm thinking about getting TPIS headers. I would like to know the "actual" horsepower gains that can be obtain with all three mods. Break the numbers down if you can. Thanks in advance.

Great site, but they should crank-up the stock HP a bit to reflect the 350HP (and up to 312 RWHP) for stock 01s and 02s.

Re: Horsepower gains question!!!!!! (JBS99HT)

OK, I'll guesstimate :D

Vortex 15-18
Borla 2-8
TPIS headers 10-20

So, 27 low ballin' and 36 generous.

BTW, that link is very off imo... had me at 320..?

Re: Horsepower gains question!!!!!! (chuckster)

It's limited on the mods to select, I tried to match mine and it can bk with:

Your Corvette has a base horsepower of: 345
The selected modifications will provide an additional 199 horsepower for a total of: 544
The estimated RWHP is: 462

Sure Don't I wish :smash:
